SBF with Linux...

[Siknik]

• chmod +x sbf_flash

• sudo ./sbf_flash NAME OF SBF EXACTLY.sbf (in this case: VRZ_A956_2.4.33_1FF_01.sbf)

ok let me make sure i got this right, i type in first line hit enter then second line and enter?

Yes, that's correct. Take a look at an earlier post if it doesn't work. You may need to change directories to 'Downloads'.

ok i type in the first line and hit enter i get- chmod: cannot access 'sbf_flash': no such file or directory

That's funny, I did the same thing. Linux takes bit to get used to. Once I figured it out I use it all the time now. A lot easier than SBF.

When I flash a new ROM w/Linux (maybe cm7), do you know what commands I use?

While running the command it gets to the sending erase stage then fails every time. Any idea what is going on?

I can't get this method to get past the second "waiting for phone" prompt. It just sits there and freezes. Here is a screenshot of where it is freezing. Any ideas? View attachment 40007

Nice tutorial, although I got most of my info from some one else(forgot who but the name is in my post). I am running Kubuntu 12.10 these days, where as I was a windoze user at the time I posted my thread. For Kubuntu I found I had to do sudo ./sbf_flash.bin VRZ_A956_2.4.33_1FF_01.sbf. I did not test, but sudo sh sbf_flash.bin VRZ_A956_2.4.33_1FF_01.sbf may also work. Sudo can play funny when dealing with a binary not in the a system path. Anyways thanks for the tutorial!
